[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty militant about not too many high salt/sugar foods which is what she loves.[/quote] One of the main reason to avoid sugar is to avoid unwanted weight gain. I'm not suggesting giving her soda or lots of candy, but there isn't any reason to avoid adding moderate amounts of sugar to a varied diet. Similarly, I don't know why you would be "militant" about salt. Yes, if you're eating at McDonalds regularly, your child is probably getting too much salt. But encouraging her to eat more by adding some moderately salty snacks seems reasonably. But I'm no expert - and if I was, you wouldn't know it from an anonymous internet posting. Why not try a one-time consultation with a nutritionist who can tell you whether it would be better to add in some more appealing foods, even if they have a bit more sugar and salt?[/quote]
